Fulham v Tottenham Hotspur: Squad sheets

It will be a meeting of many old friends at Craven Cottage with Mousa Dembélé and Clint Dempsey returning to face the club they left for Tottenham in the summer, while Fulham's Martin Jol and Dimitar Berbatov will spark a few fond memories among those in the away end. Despite a fine – if largely unnoticed – display against Chelsea in midweek, the Cottagers are at their lowest ebb of the season so far in terms of league position and they will find it tough against a visiting side looking to extend their winning run to three games.
